I have one myself, but I had never previously seen an ALBERT system metal
clarinet at all, much less one with a middle tenon. The middle tenon can
be a problem on those, as the socket tends to deform and enlarge. The guys
in our shop were able to tighten it up for me, though.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
